Read Rich Dad Poor Dad – It’s A Great Book!

Rich Dad Poor Dad: What the Rich Teach Their Kids About Money -That the Poor and the Middle Class Do Not!  by Robert Kiyosaki

Want to read the Rich Dad series?  I would recommend you start with Rich Dad Poor Dad.  It is the true story of Robert Kiyosaki’s experiences with his 2 “fathers”.  One is his real father who earned a high salary but didn’t know how to manage his money, and the other is his best friend’s father who didn’t have a “secure job” with a high salary, but had the financial know-how to use OPM (Other People’s Money) to make wise investments that made him into a millionaire.  This book will certainly get your attention because it will make you question what you likely had drilled into your head as a child.  Most parents encourage their children to find secure jobs and to buy a house and a car, but don’t tell them how to properly manage their money.  Robert suggests that there really is no “secure job” and that a house and a car are not really assets.  Rather than working for someone else and helping them realize their dreams, he recommends working for yourself and buying assets that produce positive cash flow.  This is a great book to read if you want to learn more about making your money work for you
